Haw Flakes - 10 Rolls (3.17 Oz) Traditional Chinese Fruit Candy

Fresh and delish. Nice way to reminisce.

Love it always

Not like what I remember these to be, but the flavor was nostalgic nonetheless. I think this better fits a sweeter American palate.

Since moving to another state, it has become difficult to find Asian snacks that I grew up eating. I grew up snacking on these fruit tasting pog shaped snack, but it became less common on stores as I grew up. So, when I saw it on Amazon I had to place an order. It was delivered undamaged and taste just as a I remembered. It wasn't too sweet and doesn't have strong smell. I like that it isn't too expensive because my family did consume it in less than 24 hours.

I used to buy these in Chinatown Oakland and they were delicious. but the ones they just got here taste very fishy and here's what the internet said: Moisture and Spoilage: If the packaging was damp or the seal was compromised, moisture can cause the fruit's natural compounds to degrade. This oxidation process can produce volatile amines—specifically trimethylamine (TMA)—which is the exact chemical responsible for the pungent odor of raw fish.

They brought back so many memories the only thing is they use to be so much bigger.

Gourmet haw flakes tend to be larger than the Shandong haw flakes (gourmet haw flakes are about 35-40 mm in diameter whereas the Shandong haw flakes are about 25 mm in diameter.)

Tastes great. Just like how I remember it. But the circles are wayyyy smaller than they should be. The dimensions should be mentioned, because I expected the regular size haw flakes.

This is great if you don't quite want gum, but don't want a typical candy either. Very mild flavour, but just enough to feel 'more natural'.

good taste and packaging

There are SO SO delicious!! 4 stars not 5 because this is a stupid expensive price for them.

I normally LOVE these treats - however, this package was very small for the price. The flakes were slanted and wrapped poorly from the manufacturer, so the treats were exposed and damaged. I was very disappointed. Still tasted great though, and arrived on time, so they get 3 stars.

Ok
